Theradiometricsensorhastemperaturelimitswhichmustnotbe
exceeded. In case the max. permissible temperature is exceeded,
faulty measurements and a permanent damage of the sensor can be
caused.
You have several possibilities to avoid too high ambient temperatures:
Passive sun shade
Direct sun increases the temperature on the sensor by 20 °K. The
bestpossibilitytoprotectthesensoragainsttheeectsofdirectsun
is a suitable roof structure.
Ifthisisnotpossibleoronlywithgreateort,thenyoucanusethe
passive sun shade. The passive sun shade consists of a housing sun
shade and a sun protection hose and can reduce the sensor tempera-
ture by 10 °K.
Air cooling
For ambient temperatures up to +80 °C you can use an air cooling.
Thecoolingairisgeneratedwithvortexcoolers.Pleasecheckifsuf-
